VOTING FOR SENATOR.

and the House Fails to Roach a Vote
TRENTON, n. j., Feb. l5.-The Senate this
afternoon took their first ballot for United States
Senator. It resulted as follows For William ].
Sewell. Republican, IL; for Leon Albeit, Demo-
crat, g. for Ex-Governor George G. Ludlow Dem
ocrat l; for Joseph D. Bedle, Democrat. !. The
Assembly did not take ballot, the Democrats
having absented themselves until the Repub-
lcan minority adjourned for the day. This sur
prised great many. as late in the day the MISC
ing Democrats turned up, thus restoring tho
Democratic majority. Before adjourning the
Republicans drew up and signed the following
protest.

ton of Senator of the United States, and a
House of Assembly having twice this day con-

REFORM IT ALTOGETHER,

The developments of the past few days con-
corning the management of the Hospital for
the Insane and the Jacksonville prison
should arrest public attention anew. State
pride, not to speak of the higher considera-
tons of humanity and duty, should induce
every decent man in the State to unite in a
demand for thorough reform in the manage
ment of the public.institutions This reform
must be radical and permanent, not superficial
and temporary. The mere correction of pres
ent abuses is not enough; we need change
of the system that permits and causes such
abuses. Doubtless, in view of current dis
closures, the management of the Insane Hos
pital would be willing to give pledges of
reform and promise to stop furnishing the
patients with maggoty butter, diseased pork
and inferior food Of all kinds; but how long
would the reform lasts Perhaps until the
present feeling dies out. Iii the system that
is wrong, and that should be reformed alto
gether. All the State institutions should
be removed from politics, and their man,
agement placed ON. non bipartisan basis
This is the only cure for such abuses as those
| now being exposed. Anything short of this
will, at best, bring but temporary improve
ment. The skillful surgeon does not apply
! plaster when the knife is needed. or endeav
or to cure blood-poisoning with an externa
wash. In the case of the State institutions
the only cure for the constant recurrence Of
such evils as are now being exposed is to taks
them cut of politics. To this reform the Re
publican party is pledged, and has gone as fal
as possible in carrying out its pledges a
this session Of tho Legislature. Let the bill,
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-02-16

LET the House Of Representatives push
ahead with its business. 1t is doing well;
but the time is short and the demands are
great. There are many measures yet to be
considered and passed upon before the House
can feel that it has done its work. It should
. never forget, too, that the honor and the
future of the Republican party are in its keep
racy; the House must look out for the Re
publican record.

A GROSS breach of the privileges of the
Senate occurred yesterday with regard to the
report of the committee on the Southern
Prison. The report was made public in two
Democratic papers before it was submitted to
the Senate. Whether this resulted from the
use of money, or from favoritism or other
corrupt motive is likely to remain unknown,
unless the majority of the Senate or Of the
committee take steps to discover who sold, or
battered, or gave away the official document.

THE MAIL SERVICE PROSTITUTION.

The removal of Col. John Jameson, general
superintendent of the railway mail SERVICE
and the appointment of Mr. Thomas A. Nash
in his stead, means that the most difficult and
important branch of the postal service is to
be still further prostituted to politics in the
in terest of the Democratic party. There are
over four thousand railway postal clerks.
Postal cars run on every lire of railway in the
United States, and the prompt transmission
Of the mails by these various lines to and
from all points of the country, making con-
nections by night and day, while the separ-
alton, distribution and delivery of the mails
goes on during every hour Of the day and
every day in the year, makes a complicated
business. Upon its right performance de-
ponds the success of the postal service, and,
to certain degree, the entire business of the
country. The general superintendency Of
the railway mail service requires as high a
degree of ability, skill and experience as thatof
the largest railroad in the country. The super
intendent should be thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the system. Every person who
has filed the position heretofore served long
| apprenticeship in the business, starting as a
| postal clerk and rising by successive promo
| tons to the position of superintendent. This
was the case with Mr.. Vale, who established
the service; with Colonel Thompson, who sue
ceeded him, and with Colonel Jameson, who
has just gone out. Each one worked his way
from the bottom round to the top Of the lad
| der It follows that they understood the
business. Now. after more than twenty years
of faithful service, Colonel Jameson has been
removed, and man appointed who probably
Nash is a clever enough gentleman in his way,
but is no more qualified for the position OF
superintendent of the railway mail service
than he would be to take command of an
Atlantic steamer or to teach Sanscrit. He il

Too many have already been made for tn,

for the good of the service all they want i

may expect to see the mail service more de

but it will become great deal worse

THE SOUTHERN PRISON.

The Senate committee which recently Wis
tied the Jacksonville prison, yesterday made
their report on its condition and management.
It has been long time since the people Of
Indiana have had anything more than a super
fetal and prefunctory report on the Southern
Prison. This one opens the doors and turns
on the light, to some extent at least. To
say that it reveals disgraceful condition of
affairs states the case mildly. AS the report
comes from committee composed of major
ity Of Democrats it is not likely that it exag-
crates the case or makes it worse in anv re-
spect than it really is. yet the report con-
dennis the prison management on every point
1t is in every respect report Of severe CEN
sure, and in this..regard it is creditable to the
committee. They could not have told the
truth without censuring; but, as Democratic
partisans, they deserve some credit for telling
the truth. Perhaps they were aided to this
by the certainty that if they did not the Re-
publican members of the committee would.
The report shows that the prison in its con-
dition, management and morale, is everything
that prison ought not to be. The grounds are
filthy and badly policed, the buildings dirty and
repulsive, the bedding vile, the library dilapi-
dated, the moral instruction of the prisoners
| neglected and the financial and business man
| agement Of the prison loose, incompetent and
| probably corrupt Each one of these charges
is accompanied by specifications in the report.
In the purchase of supplies favoritism and ex-
| travagance seem to have been the rule. No
| books have been kept and no accounts worthy
conducted on plan of mutual profit, by ring
of interested parties in and out of the prison.
| The financial accounting made by the warden
was entirely unsatisfactory and his cash bal
ance several thousand dollars short ''This
| system, or rather lack Of SYSTEM" say the
committee, ''has been in vogue fifteen years
at least" For this the directors of the prison
are largely responsible, as they seem to have
directed nothing. Everything has gone on in
the old way, from bad to worse. Upon such a
| showing the committee could not do less than
recommend the removal of Warden Howard.
If we do not mistake the temper of the people
they will agree that he should have been re-
moved long ago.
In the light of this exposure and of those
now occurring in the management of the Hos
pital for the Insane the Democratic scheme

State institutions for two years longer is ar

MR.. GREEN SMITH has made Senator Hus-
ton principal target Of his abuse and
coarse invective during the present session of
the Senate. The amount Of attention be-
slowed upon Mr.. Huston by the Democrats is
the best evidence of how badly they are stung
by the verdict of last November. On Friday
last not only Mr.. Huston, but Senators De-
Motto and Johnson, neatly, effectively and
scientifically skinned the Indiana freak over
his violent and virulent defense Of Demo
cratic management Of the Insane Asylum.
Not content with the faying he then received,
the Senator from Jennings and jackson
returned to the work on Monday,
in speech in which he rehashed the
statements he had made the previous week.
While he was bawling away in his inimitable
style, his Democratic colleagues hung their
heads in shame, the Republicans enjoyed their
discontinue, and the galleries wildly applaud
ed the roaring Jibbenainosay. The Demo
Gratis had had enough of it; but common cour-
tesy demanded that Mr.. Huston should be
permitted to reply to the indecent assaults
made upon him. which he did yesterday. He
is not likely to be troubled again. The Dem
ocrats have found that the Senator from Fay
cite and the other Republicans are s1oaded"
as to the management of the Insane Asylum
The best thing the Democrats can do
is to go quietly ahead with their whitewash-
ing farce, and not be drawn out in public dis
cussion. The committee raised in the Senate
to "vindicate the Democratic party" will have
to mix the calcimine pretty thick to cover up
maggoty butter and cholera hogs as part of
the food given to the insane by the Demo
cratic care-takers of these unfortunate wards
of the State.

The Insane Asylum Management.

The people ought not to be deceived by the
vigorous noise that the Democrats here are max
ing in the endeav0r to relieve the pressure on
the Insane Hospital. There is nothing partisan
in these charges That the Republicans hope
20 realize party advantage from pressing them
is quite true. That is what party governments is
for-one party's watchfulness constranirg the
other. But that this is partisan in any other
sense is not true. The people of Indiana we are
sure feel that the News has no partisan interest
nor bias in this matter, and we say that the in
vestigaton of the State Civil-service Reform AS
sociation, which was as disinterested and nom
political human enterprise could be, showed
that tine Insane Hospital had been prostituted to
many purposes. and, if the present Investigation
passes to the end, 1t will be able, without vast
trouble, perhaps, to find evidence more redolent
than has been adduced
